And in other news from the mix of UDP personalities out there today, it seems like new political ads surface every day. One of the latest ones from the PUP focuses on UDP National Campaign Manager, Juliet Thimbriel.
It alleges that under the Barrow administration, Thimbriel was able to acquire 20 houses and get a sizable grant from the Ministry of housing. Today, Thimbriel responded by saying the only thing she has, is a mortgage for her home:
Juliet Thimbriel, National Campaign Manager - UDP
"They can say anything they want against me. It does not matter. If they can't find a father that takes care of them, I have my father that takes care of me."
Reporter:
"So none of it is true. You're categorically denying all the claims."
Juliet Thimbriel:
"I'll be honest with you. I don't have 20 houses. I don't have anything close to 20 houses."
Reporter:
"15 maybe?"
Juliet Thimbriel:
"I don't have 10 houses. I have a mortgage at Belize Bank that none of them want to pay. It's over $6,000 a month. I am telling you that is on record. You all can do your investigation, but I am not the problem. The problem is the Prime Minister and the People's United Party that continue to pressure the Belizean people and take advantage of them. It's not me."
